While Proxmire insists that ending waste in the military is a cause that hawks and doves alike can agree on, he occasionally concedes that the views of what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex are not invariably wrong. Rather, he says modestly, "they do have a disproportionate influence on the decisions made by the Executive Branch of the Government." Nevertheless, even in an age grown numb to waste and stratospheric numbers, the sum of Proxmire's indictment is damning -and frightening...
